50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Olympia

“We went yesterday for lunch. sat in the bar and had the best service and the food was amazing. We ordered the King crab boil, steamed clams, cup of chowder and oyster shooters. I didn't get our bartender/servers name but her mom was a treat to meet too. By far, the best time I've had there.“

“Very comforting flavorful what I call "peasant food". My kind of fare.“

“Although we regret not eating in as it looked cozy, the food was absolutely amazing and well balanced. There wasn’t any wait time and the staff were friendly and attentive. Everything was well packed in the to go bag, there was no missing items, and they provided utensils. The portions were great for the size. 10/10 would eat here again if in the area.“

“The food was phenomenal and the service exemplary. Alex was very attentive and a great server. The entire staff was very welcoming. I highly recommend Gardner’s.“

“Perfect place for a romatic dinner or drinks out with friends. Live guitar music set the mood, we loved our wine flights and the food was fantastic! Friendly staff, warm atmosphere and great view!“

“Kind staff members and delicious sweet and savory treats! We will definitely be back again & again!“

“This place is a gem! Easy parking, great location, great service, and amazing food! This is an instant favorite for Lynda and me! Easily the best Cubano I've ever had, and the pan con lechon is even better! The ropa vieja with Cuban black beans was delicious! Portions are generous. Highly recommend Mi Luna!“

“the best bar ever to see cool band and have amazing burgers and drinks.“

“Everything here — everything — is divine and fabulous even for those who aren’t strictly vegan. I’m prompted to write today because I got one of my favorites to go two days ago — the bagel and “lox” — and had the first half yesterday and the second today. Incredibly still delicious after two days in the fridge. Kudos to you all.💕“

“Food A+ perfectly cooked generous 12oz NY steak & Blackened rockfish! Flavor excellent on all sides. Server A+, this was our first visit and Victoria helped with all our questions like family. After ordering the wait for food was long but we were in no hurry. It would have been nice to have something to nibble on. We hadn’t expected the wait so we didn’t order bread or salad, everything is extra. The place could use something acoustic to cut the noise a notch, simply voices overwhelm the place. Music from the venue next door wasn’t a distraction, it was fine. Parking can be difficult. All in all, we will be back for the A+ parts make it way worth the visit.“

“Great fish & chips! Always nice service, relaxed and down home atmosphere.“

“I tried vans burgers for the first time last night and loved it! I have been wanting to try it for a while I just never got around to it. The staff working last night were personable and I enjoyed chatting with her! I did not get her name 🥺
I am a burger snob and I thought they were fantastic, the French fries were delicious also! Next time I come I will be trying one of their shakes!“

“Love Dirty Dave's when people come to visit I take them here for lunch or dinner“

“Really good food and service. And the green martini was my favorite!“

“Amazing food! Nothing short of flavors from every direction! Great bar favorites & local brews.“

“Okay, stop scrolling. You can skip the flight to Italy because Bacco is legit the entire experience. It’s not just dinner; it’s a whole mood. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere is this perfect mashup of super chic and that cozy, intimate kitchen feeling. It's totally transportive, like stepping onto the set of a cool European movie. The aesthetics alone are worth the visit.
But the food is the main character. I'm talking about pasta that isn't just al dente, it’s obsessed-with-it good. Every noodle had a soulful chew, cradling a sauce that was clearly simmered for hours—real deal, no shortcuts. This isn't your average spaghetti; this is what happens when ingredients get the respect they deserve. From the first bite of the appetizer to the last spoonful of the exquisite Tiramisu (which is a non-negotiable must-try, by the way), every plate felt so intentional and fresh.
And the service? Our server was amazing, seriously. They weren't just taking orders; they were acting like a super knowledgeable friend, guiding us through the wine list and recommending the absolute best mains with genuine enthusiasm. This place just hits different. If you haven't been, your date night or special occasion rotation is completely missing out. Go immediately. Five stars, no notes.“

“Visiting Olympia, I was up early one Sunday. Very please to discover Schwartz’s open on a Sunday at 8:00. I was intrigued by the peanut butter and cheese bagel. This turned out to be peanut butter on a cheese bagel. Very good breakfast snack. For my companion I ordered the Lox Delux. It looked great! Cream cease, lox, red onion and capers, any choice of bagel. If you’re up early and want a great bakery, this is the destination!“

“First time visitors. superb! meal was delicious.“

“We absolutely LOVE the food here :) Have never had a bad experience in 20+ years of eating here. Highly recommended!“

“This for me has always been a good store. I almost always order the thin crust chicken bacon artichoke and it's never skimpy toppings despite ordering in the app to have it ready on arrival. Nice staff and super kind and respectful. Thank you!!!“

“It has to be good for the place to be always busy.“

“Best banana split in town!!“

“Been wanting to go here for a while. Got the tikka chicken burrito, asked them to make it how they like it. Super good and very filling. Also had samosas that were great, and naan. Want to try butter chicken next time. Will definitely eat here again soon.“

“Been meaning to come here for some time now and finally had an opportunity. The burgers and sides were amazing! We got there at the beginning of a rush and I could hear many other patrons talking about how great the burgers and fries are.

Our order: Cheeseburger, Bacon Cheeseburger, Curly Fries, Fried Zucchini

So as mentioned, it was a rush and so we did wait about 20 mins for our food, but it was well worth any amount of waiting. The burgers tasted like a was at a grill master's home BBQ on a warm summer day. Perfectly cooked and topped.

The fries and zucchini were both fresh and crisp. The real kicker is that they somehow were not overly greasy and we left feeling well and not heavy.

Will have to return and try other items in the future! The Bulgogi options look fun!“

“Just visited tonight and as always, loved the food and service! Super sweet waitresses and delicious food. I ordered the beef teriyaki bento box and a plate of crab rangoons. My friend ordered the beef bulgolgi. We were both surprised at the fast service and generous portions. It's not often that my friend and I get to go out to eat, but I'm so glad that we chose koibito 🤤“

“just found this place about a month ago, have been in a few times for pizza by the slice, every one we've tried has been hot and delicious. fun atmosphere, lovely employees!“

“We always sit in the bar and we always receive great service. I want to call out that Matt handled a really rude customer on 12/2/24 with calmness and kindness. There was a mixup regarding checks with the neighboring table and she had her salad comped, but she didn't understand why. He explained multiple times (who complains that their meal is being comped???!) until he finally said he needed to keep moving to help other diners, and her dining partner actually raised her voice and cursed at him. He should be commended. Our meal was fantastic, steak cooked perfectly, service quick, and sides all correct and accounted for.“

“Need to get food while waiting for mom in hospital. Was good American grub. We had chicken mushroom grilled onions sandwich and grilled chicken sandwich. Fries with that. Yum.
Took a minute for wait staff to get my to go order, but the food was fast after that. People were chilling at the bar on a Saturday afternoon. Too cold inside.“

“This tavern is a gem. The food is cooked with care and you can tell when you get it. The brussel sprouts are a huge hit at any time. I tried a "special" called the CodFather yesterday with a hand battered piece of cod, topped with fresh sliced pastrami and some cheese on a slathering of coleslaw on a bun. It absolutely works!“

“I absolutely love this place. One of the first I tried moving to Olympia and haven't found anything close to as good. The pho is so good!!“

“River's Edge hosted our Olympia High School class reunion in 2025. Our guests and reunion committee could not have been happier with our choice. The location, space, and food were wonderful but what made the experience exceptional was the staff. From our first time reaching out, the set-up, during the event, and after the event each staff member was absolutely amazing. I have worked and hosted many events through the years and River's Edge went above and beyond. We are excited to be back for the next class reunion!“

“Great service and great food. be sure and save room for dessert! Banana Annie was amazing!“

“I absolutely enjoyed my meal here! My brother came up to visit from Utah and hr wanted to try authentic Korean food so we decided on Seoul Garden. The food was amazing! I got the soft tofu stew (lunch special) and tteokbokki. Pure comfort food! I brought my 11 month old with us and the lady would play with him and she was so kind she brought extra sides out for him to enjoy and didn’t charge us for them! Kindest customer service and best food I plan on coming here more during the winter when I need a nice hot meal“

“We used the new delivery service today. The food was delivered very quickly and was absolutely delicious. Staff took extra precautions by wearing gloves. We appreciate you. Thank you!!! 💗“

“Great food, great service and the bread pudding was fabulous.“

“Cascadia Grill was amazing! Everything is available gluten free and there is a vegetarian and vegan menu. The staff were all so friendly and genuine. I got the Indochine baguette sandwich which delicious. My partner got the gluten free fried chicken creole sandwich and said it was the best she'd ever had.“

“Self-serve chips and salsa. Everything tasted fresh. I nice mixture of seating options - tables, bar, booths. Pretty hot inside. Was seated immediately. Service is fantastic. Kind and very attentive. I had the flautas which were delicious!!! The chicken is very well seasoned and juicy. Crispy flautas and good toppings. The salsas were way better than most. Feels pretty authentic.“

“We were walking downtown and decided to try this out. We are so glad we did! We had fresh spring rolls and pad Thai with a side of peanut sauce. It was absolutely delicious. The sauce has more of a sweet taste to it and their spiciness levels are fairly mild. We got a 2 star and it was more like a one star.
We are so glad we stopped by and will definitely be trying this again.“

“Love coming to this diner! The food is always great, the welcoming committee is as real as it gets, and the only place I know that serves oysters for breakfast and liver and onions for dinner. Both of which deserve compliments to the chef! Shawna was a blessing and can’t wait to eat here again 🙌🏽“

“BEST Bloody Mary around, and trust me, I have tried them all. The burgers are amazing, the salad, the specials, I could go on and on. All of that combined with attentive staff that always gets it right. Hard to find a gem like this, 10/10 recommend!!!“

“So glad we found this place!!! Everything was amazing, from the fish tacos to the margaritas!!!“

“This cute restaurant is slightly hidden when you first arrive as my boyfriend and I missed it when we first arrived by GPS. Luckily there was street parking in front of the restaurant and we were able to park just fine and enter the restaurant. We were greeted by our waitress who appears to be the owner and she was very polite and professional with us. She got us waters and menus and gave us the right amount of time to decide what we wanted. My boyfriend ordered the Singapore fried rice with chicken and I got the spicy garlic chicken with peanut sauce with a Thai iced tea.

The inside of the restaurant is cozy and cute. The ceiling has a beautiful pattern of blue skies with little clouds and there is good lighting throughout the restaurant that gives a pretty casual vibe throughout the restaurant. The food came out after some time and it was absolutely phenomenal. My boyfriend loved his fried rice and he also took some of the peanut sauce as he said it was very flavorful. I really enjoyed the spicy garlic chicken and wished it was a bit spicier as I ordered hot but that's fine. The peanut sauce was delightful to put on my meal as well. We thought the Thai iced tea was very refreshing and perfect. I look forward to trying more of the dishes here as we were happy with the food, service, and prices!“

“I love this place! The food is stellar and the staff is so kind. The first time I went I had a question about one of the items on the menu and they were super attentive and even offered let me try the ingredient I was unfamiliar with. I’ve brought my coworkers back a couple times too and they always love it.“

“I'm a pizza guy and so is my family of 5, Wicked Pies is next level and have mastered the craft of pizza and the menu they offer. It's the only place in town I love to go for pizza and am more then happy with the quality of not just the food the service they have is next to none as well. Check out if you haven't and if you have this isn't new information!“

“My pizza turns out perfect every single time! No complaints!“

“Varun is a Master at creating delicious food, and makes it look easy, We love eating here, because it is so special each time. I have a hard time deciding what to order because so many things “speak to me” on the menu. And I’m vegetarian!😁 I heard they are starting a dosa menu soon! Yum!! 😋 Keli and Varun are always so friendly and accommodating. I would 100% recommend this place. Best food in Olympia!“

“They have amazing tacos, and the service is always top-notch definitely one of my favorite places to get tacos from“

“This is our absolute favorite place to go. We love the owners and the food is to die for! Every plate is amazing. 🥰 This is a weekly spot for us.“

“Jeff has amazing Cajun food!! Anyone from the south and craving flavor plus kick? Go see him! He has rotating specials everyday (you can see on his Facebook or text his number to ask) plus menu items like gumbo, catfish and chicken fingers. I personally love his special of fried crawfish also his ribs are amazing! Be sure to ask for the jumbo spicy if that’s your thing. His food truck is in the parking lot right past the car wash on main post“

“Nice place to watch sports. Lots of pull tabs and beer. Lots of TVs and everything is very clean. The menu has recently been updated and the prices on Google and the website are wrong. Everything is about $3 more. See my pics for the new menu.“
